VS.. AZ, 49, Joseph's Interpretation of
PharaoE's dream was carried out to the let
ter. The seven years of plenty followed.
During these years he laid up the food of the
fields surrounding each city in the cities.
These cities, as in Palestine, were places occu-
pied by the people at night for the sake Of Sc
curity, who during the day cultivated the
fields round about them.
JOSEPH TYPE OF CHRIST.
Joseph has been a favorite type OF Christ
among some of the church fathers and the
other interpreters. We have In the Bible
two representations of Christ as suffering and
as reigning. The life of Joseph affords the
same contrast. Like Christ, Joseph was be-
trayed and sold, and suffered humiliation be-
fore his exaltation. There are undoubtedly
in the Old Testament not only ritual types Of
Christ, which are brought out SO clearly in
the book of Hebrews, but also historic types,
such as Isaac on Mount Moriah, David and
Solomon; but Joseph unites the sufferings
and the triumphs of the Messiah, foreshad
owed by the two Israelitish kings, in one per-
son.
POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED.
1. The story of Joseph has been found to be
true to life in every particular.

LORENA.

THE "Lorena" of this pathetic poem
became the wife of the late Judge John
son of the Ohio Supreme Court, and is
still living, as is also the author of the
poem. The lines we're set to music by
John P. Webster, of Elkhorn, Wiscon-
sin friend of their author, though
not relstive-and "LoreDa," from be
ing the fsvorite song of the soldiers of
both the Northern and Southern armies
during our civil war, may properly be
styled the the American Annie Laurie
The years creep slowly by, Lorena,
The snow is on the grass again;
The suns low down the sky, Lorena,
The frost CLEANS where the flowers
have been;
But the heart throbs on as warmly now
As when the summer days we're nigh;
Oh, the sun can never dip as low
Adown affections cloudless sky.
"a hundred months have passed, Loreua,
Since last held that hand In niue,
And felt that pulse beat fast, Lorena,
Tho mine beat faster far than thine |;
A hundred months-'twas flowery May,
When up the hIlly slope we climbed,
To watch the dying of the day
And hear the distant church bells
chime.
"We loved each other then. Lerena,
More than ever we cared to tell;
And what we might have been, Lorena,
Had but our lovings prospered we'll;
But. then. It's past-the years are gone;
I'll not call up their shadowy forms;
III say to them: Lost years, sleep on.
Sleep on, nor heed life's pelting storms
THE story of the past, Lorena,
Alasl l care not to repeat;
The hopes that could last, LOrena,
They lived, but only lived to cheat;
| would not cause cen one regret
To rankle in your bosom now,
For If we try we may forget
We're word of thine long years ago.
Eyes, these words of thine, Lorena-
They burn within my memory yet;
They touched some tender chords, Lo+
rena,
Which thrill and tremble with regret,
Twas not thy woman's heart that spoke
Thy heart was always true to me;
A duty strong and pressing, broke
The tie which linked my soul with
thee,
ut matters little now, Lorena,
The past is in the eternal past;
Our heads will soon be low, Lorena,
Life's tide is ebbing out so fast;
There is a future-Ob, thank God!
Of life this is so small part;
'Tis dust to dust beneath the sod,
But there, up there, tits heart to heart

Taking off the ad valorem duty of 10
and IL per cent from clothing and comb
ing woods made an important difference
in their importation, and the reduction
of just one-sixth in the duties on carpet.
wool also would have made an impOr>
tant difference, if the tariff had been en-
forced as before with loyal fidelity to
its intent. But it was not so enforced.
From the hour Secretary Manning. with
his extreme free>tTade notions, took
charge of the treasury department, it
was seen shat official favor was only for
those who could devise means to break
down or construe away the laws defend
ing home indastEg-So enormous im+
ports were permitted of wool which,
though called carpet wool, actually was
used for cloth manufacture, and dis
placed corresponding quantities of
American wool. so imports of waste,
Aoils, tops and other forms of secured
and fine wool, admitted at low rates
under the act as construed by the
administration. enormously increased.
So wOrsted goods were wi hout reason
held by the treasury to be not wOolsD
goods, and thus the proportion of duties
on such cloths Was reduced and the
imports increased. though the dicision
was clearly contrary to the intent of
the act The consequence has been an
increase in the imports of wool of the
different classes, as follows:

Though the manufacture and the
growing of wool were both materially
retarded BY the enormous importstions
of 1S7l-'73, the subsequent development
was all that had been expscted by the
most sanguine advocates of protection.
The growers of wool in this country
came to realize that notw Outstanding
imports of carpet and other cheap tor
eipn wools, which affected the price to-
some extent. and Notwithstanding large
continuing imports of certain qualities
of foreign goods, which diminished con-
siderablV the demand for American
ool, they were nevertheless assured q
steady market for more than 3O0,O00,>
600 pounds of domestic wool in place of
about 16O,OO0.000 pounds when the tariff
of 1867 was adopted, and only Is, ,0O0, 900
nue. tariff. What, then. has caused the
visible decrease in production of wool
since 1888 and 1884, and what now
causes the shrinkags in demand for
wooden goods, which within the last
few weeks has caused important manu-
featuring establishments to suspend
productiOnp
The tariff of 1867. though admirable,
was never perfect, and changes in meth
DDS of manufacture here and in prodnc-
tion abroad developed serious defects.
But Republican administrations inter-
preted the law justly according to its
intent without the favoritisn lately
shown for foreigners rather than home
producers, or for those who are trying
to rob the government by evadiDg duties
rather than those engaged in home in
dustry. Under such interpretations the
law fairly limited imports of competing
wool, except at times of great and sud
den demand, as in 1879 80, and then
the magnitude of the demand itself de-
Tended the grower. But In 1882 tariff
conn ission- recommended, and after
months Cf discussion congress adopted,
revised tariff. The duties for wool
were those proposed by the commission
and were effectively lower than the
former duties for every class. as follows:
